I was wholeheartedly expecting this place to be in another spot by the looks of it on social media…read morebut this place was elite in an elite spot. When we made our way to Gold Coast we thought why not spoil ourselves at a buffet. This spot got near any Australian thing you can think of and then some for breakfast. Whether it's Ceres, yogurt and pastries or fruit with meat and carbs you got it here. The juice/coffee bar was a nice touch as well and we spent our time not piling on our plates and eating trying every one of their juices and coffee on offer. I do wish I had room for more pastry but we ran out of time. For the price of 50 aud I'd easily come back with the boiz for a nice breakfast. And definitely if we stay longer than the day try the dinner!

We have had breakfast the last two days and you definitely have lots of good options whether you…read moreenjoy the buffet or order from the menu, the food is very tasty . The service is at the top of our list for meeting the gold standard we expect from any restaurant we visit! The ambiance is very enjoyable and the view is excellent! If you visit make sure you ask for the best server in the business, our new Australian friend Jackie Lewis! I promise she will make you feel welcome and cared for! Also the host Ann K. And server Teresa are very welcoming!

This place is really great!…read more If you have kids it is one of the few places I have seen that cater really well for them. There is an attached secure playground - but rain hail or shine, kids will be entertained as there is a kids room with play station consoles and other games. The bar is cosy an homely, beer is cold and keno can be played in a very relaxing environment. Move into the dining area and be prepared to get stuck into some pub steaks ... But wait .. Crab cakes, calamari and lamb skewers to start and a main of Duck on the menu too? YES PLEASE! The crab cakes were delicious, the calamari was tender and the duck was succulent, juicy and crispy on the outside... As for the lamb skewers, I wasn't fast enough to try those as my company demolished it before I got a chance. Check the place out. I enjoyed it and the service is great too.

On a Saturday night, this is a really busy place. So make sure you make a reservation. Even though…read morethis is a busy place, the host will greet you and give you a status update on table availability. Social Eating House & Bar has a great vibe and atmosphere! I ordered entree, main and dessert from the specials board and also food from the menu. The food was amazing! The crispy pan fried snapper fish with risotto, prawn and prawn bisque, delicious! The zucchini flower was sweet and crispy! The side dish of roasted cauliflower was a great choice. Make sure you have room for dessert, the special white chocolate and coconut panacotta with lychee sorbet with violet jelly was refreshing and amazing. Very strong lychee flavors. The stand out dessert was the licorice mousse with burnt pineapple! Very unique and if you love licorice flavors, this in the one you must try! Overall it was a great dining experience!

I had the chicken parmigiana which was delicious, lovely moist and juicy chicken with a wonderful sauce. My niece, who is vegan, ordered spaghetti with a vegan sauce. The meals came out promptly and cannot thank all of the staff enough for their superb service. The hosts are extremely friendly and accommodating, even adding a grilled bug to my husbands barramundi when he asked, could not have been more obliging. Will definitely be visiting Ginos Trattoria regularly.

Wonderful little italian restaurant in Paradise Point…read more.. I had the napoli pasta and it was delicious! Plenty of sauce, great flavours, and huge serve! My hubby had the carbonara minus the bacon and it too was delicious! They were very accommodating with additions to their dishes.. i added Chili to my dish (medium heat) which they were more than happy to do.... when I did have a little bite though it was really really spicy (I love chill but it was a little hot for me - mild was perfect).... i told the waitress, who took it straight to the kitchen and they fixed it straight away for me... it was no hassle and made me feel that they really wanted me to enjoy my experience and wanted it exactly how I requested it. I also requested parmesan cheese... and they bought out a whole dish for me... which was great as I love lots of parmesan. Service was attentive, each of the staff knew their dishes and were very pleasant and helpful. Definitely love to go there again - it's hard to find dishes so perfecto, but Gino's certainly know their italiano! :) YUM YUM YUM!!

Upon arrival, some guests had been seated at tables in a room with no view. Immediately sought after server Bart and redirected to GM George. GM George conveyed that the restaurant was too busy to make other arrangements. The attitude was take it or leave it. Under the circumstances, I was obliged to remain. At 6 p.m., the restaurant was at 15% capacity then when we left it was at 8 p.m. it was at 75% capacity. Fortunately the server was professional, food presentation nice and portions fine. Unfortunately there was rotten escarole on both bruschetta plates on the table. The snapper was low grade and potatoes under cooked. The ravioli tasted average according to my daughter. Compared with fine dinning in the USA, Europe and Sydney, this is average cuisine. However, the views are great with a window seat. Not recommended for group bookings. Get written confirmation of what kind of seating you think you're promised. Finally have a back up planned in case seating arrangements are changed unexpectedly. Don't expect it to taste like fine dinning. Views very nice.

Great food. Had their taco special first day on the menu and it was a hit! Pumpkin fritters were…read moregood too. Also had their chorizo which wasn't that great but we don't need to talk about that. Great location easily walkable to everything around surfers. Great place to just sit and look at the beach too. Price is fair expect to pay around 20$ for mains. Smoothie was a bit expensive tho around 9$. Servers were very friendly and try all their menu items so they can help you decide what to order really well. I love it when their own servers believe in their product. This would be a great lunch or breakfast place before you and your friends hit the beach. All in all GC has a lot of great locations so if you have a few days to explore the area and got a few meals to fill this place is super convenient and got great items to try.

The staff are warm, welcome and attentive. They start you off with drinks, explain the specials, talk about the menu and what's on offer. We went with the 4 course meal and each dish was brilliantly made. Looks and taste was on point. And my drink was a change up to the usual Old Fashioned cocktail with some strawberry and chocolate liqueur. Highly recommend this place. Great dishes, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Great for a date. I cut, a celebration or if you just want to dress up a little.

I fell in love with a glass of shiraz at Little Truffle on Friday night. The food was decent, too…read more I made the mistake of having a sauv blanc with my entree before switching to red for my main - sometimes I get stuck in the "white wine for white meat, red wine for red meat" mantra. I guess I'm lucky that I did that or I may not have tried the shiraz at all. Of course, I didn't actually take proper note of what the shiraz was, because I was too distracted by how I was going to deal with the nightmare of a motel waiting for me later that night. Once again, I sighted the issue of businesses having outdated menus on their websites. Dear friends, don't get your hopes up for any particular menu item from any online menu ever! I need to actually learn from this mistake instead of continuing to make it. Look... it wasn't all bad. It just meant that instead of having the pan fried barramundi fillet with sand crab tortellini, sweet potato purée, figs and bacon crisp... I ended up having the "August Special" of braised beef cheeks, cauliflower & truffle purée, sautéed bacon and horseradish gremolata. Look, it wasn't a bad consolation prize. Add the shiraz and I didn't give a damn about the seafood dish I'd had to let go of. Actually, come to think of it, if I'd had that seafood dish I probably wouldn't have had the shiraz... GUYS, MY MIND JUST MELTED A BIT Anyway. The service was a little cold and the floor was tiled, which was a bit strange. Perhaps the space had existed as a retail store before it became a restaurant, or something like that? I guess it felt a bit "beach hotel foyer" rather than "bathroom/laundry", but still... tiles. Wrong. I'm settling on three stars for the tiles, disinterested service and outdated web menu.
